I have an electric keggle that I use for BIAB. I am looking into installing a pump so that I can recirculate during my mash and chilling. I'm not sure of the best way to bring the wort back into the keg. Below are some pictures of other people's builds.
Should I bring it in on the side like this:
Or through some sort of sparge arm that sits below the lid like this:
I would prefer the first option, through the side. But since I do BIAB and a bag will be lining the pot is there any cons to not having the wort pass directly over top the grains? I know this would be necessary if I was sparging, but I'm not. I'm simply trying to keep the wort in constant motion to eliminate my need for constant stirring to maintain mash temps.
